Its been 4 months since i applied. Got 2 AOR (1st in September 2d in December) , no updates since then no BIL or nothing. Im in the same boat. 4 months is such a long time for not having no updates.
Is it normal timeline or is it just happening with us ?

There is no any fix order timeline, there are some people who are not receiving AOR as the first step, some people just getting their BIL or medical as first step. Ircc recently changed the processing time for family sponsorship application from 12 months to 24 months. Not sure if that is something affecting our files as well.

Also, 99% applicants of October 2024 (inland) haven't received BIL yet. Most of them are still expecting their AOR. So i guess this timeline should be normal.

Online Application Submitted on: Oct 22, 2024
Sponsor's City in Canada: Winnipeg, MB
Principal Applicant's Country of Origin: India
Biometrics requested : 20 Nov, 2024
Biometrics provided : 22 Nov, 2024
Biometrics updated: 25 Nov, 2024
Eligibility Completed: 20 Nov, 2024
AOR : 3 Dec, 2024
SOWP Applied: 22 Dec, 2024
SOWP Approved: 15 Jan, 2024
Background: IN progress
Medical: Not Started

Quick question for others - Principal Applicant has to travel out of Canada to India for a family ceremony for 4 weeks. PA's SOWP was approved today and has TRV until Dec 2025.
Would it affect their entry back into Canada if they travelled for 4 weeks while inland PR is being processed?

Thanks everybody.

But I checked the tracker and others are receiving BIL immediately after receiving AOR
In below case same happened

2) Apply for work permit for the first time or new employer
3) Get a new temporary resident permit
4) Restore my status us a worker

which one should I select as it not my first time applying for work permit and also Iam on open work permit at the time,so not sure whether to select apply for work permit with same employer.
